Amid Pakistan's economic challenges, including a weakening local currency and depleting foreign exchange reserves, Ambassador Mudassir Tipu has stated that Pakistan and Iran are prepared to boost bilateral trade to $5 billion.
He highlighted the commitment to enhancing trade relations, referencing a five-year strategic and economic cooperation document signed between the two countries. The agreement, covering 2023-28, aims to address trade barriers, establish institutional interactions between private sectors, and finalize a Free Trade Agreement (FTA).
Ambassador Tipu made these remarks during a visit to the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas, coinciding with Pakistani Navy ships docking at the First Naval Region of the Iranian army. This symbolic gesture aims to promote peace, friendship, and strengthen relations between the two nations, with a focus on improving education-related activities and interactions.
Highlighting the importance of Pakistan-Iran relations, the ambassador emphasized that these ties convey a message of solidarity, peace, and happiness to the region. Both countries remain committed to maintaining peace and stability in the region.
The historical economic relations and cultural exchanges between the two nations, along with a significant number of Pakistani pilgrims visiting Iran annually, contribute to the foundation of their ties. Improved bilateral trade is seen as crucial for Pakistan, potentially alleviating its economic challenges.
Noteworthy projects, inaugurated by former Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, such as the "Mand-Pishin Border Sustenance Marketplace" and "220 kV Polan-Gabd Electricity Transmission Line," signify tangible cooperation between the two nations.
